Just what I needed

If I could have written a book about my grieving process, this would have been it. Insightful, honest, heartfelt...this book touched on every aspect of going through the motions of life after someone close to you has passed over. I was surprised and comforted to read that I was not the only person in the world that thought "I just want to get an email from the other side....why can't we just email each other??". The dialog of "real-life", dreams and thoughts is expertly woven together, and each chapter includes meaningful quotes from other authors. Many thanks to the author for her honesty.

impossble to put down

Like the author, I'm very impatient New Age ideas, and have been agnostic much of my life. But after having watched two people I love die I was surprised by the sense they weren't gone, the feeling that, after their deaths, something was happening that was undeniable, yet not accessible through our usual sensory channels. I ordered this book because it looked interesting. It arrived at a time when (because of my profession) I had at least a thousand pages of manuscript to read and edit. And I opened this book at the post office the day it arrivved, read the first paragraph, and finished it that night. It's ironic and heartfelt at the same time--an amazing balance of belief in the unseen, also wariness about our vulnerability to too-easy beliefs and snake-oil cures.

Lovely!

Dear Ms. Picardie,I listened to you on the radio program "Coast To Coast" with Barbara Simpson the other night-- Lovely! My nineteen year old son, Joshua, died in a motorcycle accident last year... Your description of your grieving process, your feelings, your thoughts, your "journey"-- all were spot-on and incredibly insightful. Now, no more words.
